Luoyang, Xianren Palace.
In the first year of Daye, Yang Guang ordered the construction of Xianren Palace. The strange materials and stones from the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Five Ridges were transported to Luoyang, and the gardens were filled with Jiamu strange grass and rare birds and animals from the sea.
But now, Yang Dong, who had proclaimed himself emperor, had benefited.
At this moment.
In the royal study of Xianren Palace, Yang Dong was wearing a dragon robe.
In front of him stood Wang Shichong, Duan Da, Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu, Huangfu Wuyi, Guo Wenyi, and Zhao Changwen, the seven great heroes who had supported his ascension.
In Luoyang, people called them Seven Noble.
And among them.
Wang Shichong, who held military power, was the one Yang Dong relied on the most!
"Dear ministers."
"You've all seen the messenger sent by Du Fuwei and the letter he personally wrote. Although he promised to be my subject, he still needs my help!”
"In your opinion, should I send troops?”
Yang Dong asked as he looked at the seven people before him.
In fact.
At this moment, Yang Dong was really unable to make up his mind.
After all, the one attacking Du Fuwei was none other than the other Great Sui Emperor, his half-brother Yang Fan.
In the eyes of the world, it was inevitable to leave behind the words of brothers fighting.
"Your Majesty."
"In my opinion, Your Majesty should ignore Du Fuwei.”
At this moment, the internal historian and General Yuan Wen of Zuo Xiaowei stood up and said.
He said firmly,
"Your Majesty."
"This Du Fuwei was born into a lowly family and was nothing more than a bandit. Moreover, when the previous emperor was in power, many of the Sui Dynasty's generals and officials died at his hands.”
"How can he be conferred the title of King Chu?”
Yuan Wendu came from a noble background and was a descendant of the Northern Wei Imperial Clan.
He had a straightforward personality and was eloquent and capable. He had held the positions of internal historian, minister Zuo Cheng, and minister of state. Therefore, he had never taken a fancy to Du Fuwei.
Especially!
This Du Fuwei had conquered countless cities in Great Sui. He was a real traitor!
After the Yuan Dynasty.
Zhao Changwen immediately echoed,"
"That's right! Your Majesty!"
"This Du Fuwei has wild ambitions. He has been buying people's hearts and bewitching them in the Jianghuai region. Even if he were to submit to us, he would definitely have ulterior motives!”
"Why should we save him now?”
At this point.
Zhao Changwen bowed towards Yang Dong.
"Besides,"
"The one who attacked Du Fuwei was His Majesty's elder brother, and he was using the name of Great Sui to quell the rebellion. If His Majesty were to send troops to help Du Fuwei, it would be unreasonable.”
Hearing Zhao Changwen's words, Lu Chu and Guo Wenyi nodded in agreement.
Now.
Even though the few of them had already supported Yang Dong to ascend the throne in Luoyang.
However, the Great Sui Imperial Court in Luoyang and the Great Sui Imperial Court in Jiang Du were from the same source. They were considered family, while Du Fuwei was an outsider!
Therefore, how could they kill each other?
"This!"
On the dragon throne, Yang Dong frowned when he saw so many important officials oppose him, and his heart became even more hesitant.
However…
At this moment, a loud shout rang out,"
"Foolish!"
"It is precisely because of this that we should send out our troops!”
Wang Shichong stood up and said to Yang Dong,
"Your Majesty."
"Right now, our Imperial Court only has the territory around Luoyang, while Du Fuwei has the Jianghuai region. If he can bow down to us, wouldn't our strength increase greatly?”
"Even if Du Fuwei isn't sincere, the Imperial Court will still need a helper!”
For Wang Shichong, he naturally hoped that Du Fuwei would submit to him.
This!
Only when Du Fuwei became his subject and became King Chu would Wang Shichong be able to advance further!
Moreover, he had to be careful.
In the future, if Yang Dong, the emperor, stayed in Luoyang, he could learn from Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms and use the emperor to command Du Fuwei. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?
"This, Minister Wang's words make sense."
On the dragon throne.
Hearing Wang Shichong's analysis, Yang Dong nodded.
Guo Wenyi, Zhao Changwen, Lu Chu, and the others were also speechless. They couldn't find any fault with Du Fuwei's submission. The strength of the Imperial Court had indeed increased greatly.
Seeing this, Wang Shichong smiled proudly and said seriously,"
"As for what Lord Zhao said just now, it's even more wrong!”
"There are no two suns in this world, and there are no two masters in this country!”
"How can there be two emperors of Great Sui in this world? If this continues, which court should the scholars and people of the world loyal to Great Sui serve?”
"Luoyang? Jiang Du?"
"Therefore, we must let the world understand that Your Majesty is the legitimate heir of Great Sui!”
There were no two suns in the sky!
There are no two kings in a country!
In Wang Shichong's eyes.
With Yang Dong in his hands, the Great Sui Imperial Court would belong to him, Wang Shichong. He could do whatever he wanted, so how could he be willing to share the spoils with others?
If they had the Jiang Capital Great Sui, their Luoyang Great Sui would be greatly discounted!
"Minister Wang, you are right!"
On the dragon throne.
Hearing Wang Shichong's words, Yang Dong shouted.
That's right!
Once Yang Fan was allowed to destroy Du Fuwei and obtain the Jianghuai region, his reputation would definitely soar. In the eyes of the world, Jiang Du would be the orthodox faction of the Great Sui!
This!
Yang Dong would never allow that!
Yang Dong's gaze became resolute as he turned to Wang Shichong.
"Minister Wang!"
"Since that's the case, then you will mobilize the troops. Send one person as the commander to lead 100,000 troops to Liyang to help Du Fuwei defeat the fake Emperor Yang!”
In Luoyang.
Wang Shichong had always been in charge of military affairs.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
"I will definitely choose elite soldiers and strong generals to go. I won't let the prestige of the Imperial Court down!”
Wang Shichong smiled proudly.
Hence, he decided to do it.
Du Fuwei had sent a messenger to Luoyang to ask for help. His mission was successfully completed. Wang Shichong immediately dispatched 100,000 troops to Liyang to help.
